Cannot change resolution on mac

[Aduro01]

I recently purchased the game and i started playing on my 5k iMac from 2020. Everything seemed fine but the game was a bit laggy. I jumped into the settings and i saw that my resolution was set at 5k. I tried to change it but every time i closed settings it turned back into 5k. I tried reinstalling the game but that did not help. Then i tried it on my 2019 macbook pro and it had the same issue. Can anyone help ?

What MIGHT have fixed this for me: System Preferences -> Security & Privacy. Grant Full Disk Access to Firewatch.

I found a solution. It worked for me on the MacBook Pro M1, but it should be universal.

Firewatch uses your current Mac resolution. Here is the problem – because HiDPI is enabled on Mac by default, whatever resolution you choose in settings (e.g., 1440x900), mac will still use your max resolution (e.g., 2800xsomething). The goal is to set Mac resolution to your target resolution without HiDPI
1) Download BetterDisplay
2) Open Built-in display in Displays
3) Find System Configuration and Smooth Scaling.
4) Enable Custom Scaled Resolutions
5) Add the desired resolution (for me, it's 1280x800).
6) Apply
7) Reboot
8) Click on BetterDisplay in the top bar
9) Select the desired resolution (e.g., 1280x800) and disable HiDPI (it's necessary!)
10) Play

It was an act of pure humility and servitude.
